Walk into any Phúc Tea store in Vietnam and the first thing you notice is how long the menu is. Milk teas, fruit teas, lattes, cheese foam, a whole wall of toppings, and then a row of one-liter cups that look like they were built for a small party. It is a lot to take in on a first visit. So this guide narrows it down to the drinks that actually define the brand: taro milk tea, grass jelly, the famous full-topping cup, and the one-liter sharing line that regulars swear by. Nine years after starting as a single push-cart in Cần Thơ in 2017, Phúc Tea now runs 170+ stores across Vietnam, the Philippines and India, and this signature lineup is a big part of why.
What Makes the Phúc Tea Signature Menu Different
Most bubble tea menus are variations on the same Taiwanese template. Phúc Tea builds from a Vietnamese starting point instead, and you can taste the difference in three places.
- 🍵 Tea first, sugar second. The tea base is brewed strong enough to stand on its own, so the milk and sweetener sit behind the tea rather than covering it.
- 🥔 Fresh ingredients where it matters. The taro in the "tươi quết" line is real taro, steamed and mashed, not a powder scoop. You can see the texture in the cup.
- 🤝 Built for sharing. The one-liter cup is not a novelty size here. It is a core part of the menu, priced so a group of friends or an office team can split one without thinking twice.
💡 Tip: If it is your very first Phúc Tea order, skip the fancy stuff and get a Trà Sữa Đài Loan (Taiwanese Milk Tea) with pearls. It is the baseline that tells you what the brand's tea actually tastes like, and everything else makes more sense afterwards.
Taro Milk Tea: The Signature That Converts First-Timers
If one drink on the Phúc Tea menu deserves the "signature" label, it is taro. Purple, creamy, nutty, faintly sweet like a dessert but never heavy. It is the flavor most people order on their second visit and then keep ordering.
Phúc Tea runs it in two versions, and the difference is worth knowing before you order.
Trà Sữa Khoai Môn (Classic Taro Milk Tea)
The everyday version. Smooth, evenly blended, that familiar lavender color, and a nutty finish that sits somewhere between vanilla and sweet potato. This is the one to get if you like your drink easy to sip through a straw with no surprises, and it is a reliable pick for anyone who normally finds milk tea too sweet.
Trà Sữa Khoai Môn Tươi Quết (Fresh Mashed Taro Milk Tea)
This is the upgrade, and it is the reason taro fans travel to Phúc Tea specifically. Real taro root is steamed and mashed, then layered into the cup, so you get actual pieces of taro alongside the drink. The texture is thicker, the flavor is rounder and more root-vegetable-real, and you will probably need a fat straw and a bit of patience. It is closer to a light dessert than a beverage.
| Version | Texture | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Trà Sữa Khoai Môn | Smooth, fully blended | First-timers, easy everyday sipping |
| Trà Sữa Khoai Môn Tươi Quết | Thick, with real mashed taro | Taro lovers, anyone who wants a dessert drink |
💡 Tip: Order the fresh mashed taro at 50 to 70 percent sugar. The taro itself brings natural sweetness, so a full-sugar cup can tip over the edge.

Grass Jelly and the Art of the Vietnamese Topping
Grass jelly, known locally as sương sáo, is the topping that surprises visitors most. It is dark, soft, faintly herbal and barely sweet, and it does something clever in a cup of tea: it cools the whole drink down and cuts the richness of the milk. In Vietnam it has been eaten as a hot-weather dessert for generations, long before bubble tea arrived, which is exactly why it feels so natural in a Vietnamese milk tea menu.
At Phúc Tea, grass jelly shows up most prominently in the one-liter black tea line as Hồng Trà Ly 1 Lít - Sương Sáo (1-Liter Black Tea with Grass Jelly). Strong black tea, plenty of jelly, a liter of it. On a 35-degree afternoon in the Mekong Delta, there is not much that beats it.
The wider topping list is where you can really build your own cup:
- ⚫ Trân châu - classic chewy tapioca pearls, the default starting point
- 🌿 Sương sáo - grass jelly, cooling and lightly herbal
- 🥥 Thạch dừa - coconut jelly, crunchy and bright
- ❄️ Tuyết sợi - snow jelly strips, slippery and refreshing
- 🧀 Phô mai quết - salted cheese foam, savory-sweet, spooned over the top
- 🥔 Khoai môn quết - fresh mashed taro used as a topping in its own right
💡 Tip: Grass jelly and cheese foam in the same cup is an underrated combination. The salty foam on top, the cool jelly at the bottom, and black tea in between.
Trà Sữa Phúc Full Topping: Everything In One Cup
Some people cannot choose. Phúc Tea solved that with Trà Sữa Phúc Full Topping, the house signature that loads a single milk tea with a mix of six different toppings. Pearls, jellies, taro, cheese foam, all in one.
It sounds excessive and it is, a little. But it works because the tea base underneath is strong enough to hold everything together, and because each topping brings a different texture rather than a different sugar hit. It has become the drink people order when they want to show a friend what Phúc Tea is about in a single cup.
Fair warning: this is a heavy drink. Treat it as a snack, not a thirst-quencher.
Brown Sugar, Matcha and Chocolate: The Latte Side
Beyond tea, Phúc Tea has a strong latte-style section that gets ordered heavily in the late afternoon.
| Drink | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Sữa Tươi Trân Châu Đường Đen | Fresh milk, hot brown sugar pearls, caramel streaks down the cup. No tea at all, so it is the pick for anyone avoiding caffeine in the evening. |
| Matcha Phúc | The house matcha, made to taste green and slightly bitter rather than candy-sweet. |
| Matcha Latte | Softer and milkier than Matcha Phúc, a good entry point to matcha. |
| Socola Latte | Rich chocolate, popular with younger customers and anyone who wants comfort in a cup. |
| Matchoco Latte | Matcha and chocolate layered together, the crowd-pleaser between the two camps. |
💡 Tip: Brown sugar fresh milk is best in the first ten minutes, while the pearls are still warm and the sugar has not fully mixed. Drink it in-store if you can.
Lighter Options: Fruit Tea and Chia
Not every visit calls for a milk tea. The fruit tea section is where the menu gets light and slightly healthier, and it is what office workers tend to order when they want something to sip through a long afternoon.
- 🍑 Trà Đào Hạt Chia - peach tea with chia seeds. Light, mildly sweet, with the little chia texture that makes it feel like a wellness drink rather than a treat.
- 🍓 Lục Trà Dâu Tằm Pha Lê Tuyết - green tea with mulberry and crystal snow jelly. Tart, floral and very refreshing over ice.
Both take well to a reduced sugar order, and both are good choices if you are trying Vietnamese tea for the first time and are not sure how you feel about milk tea.
The 1-Liter Line: Eight Flavors Made for Sharing
The one-liter black tea range is arguably the most Vietnamese thing on the menu. Buying a liter of tea to split with your table is completely normal here, and Phúc Tea runs eight flavors in the line:
- Trân Châu - classic pearls
- Tắc Xí Muội - calamansi with salted plum, sweet-salty-sour
- Tuyết Sợi - snow jelly strips
- Sương Sáo - grass jelly, the cooling favorite
- Chanh Thạch Dừa Vải - lime with coconut jelly and lychee
- Chanh Nha Đam - lime with aloe vera
- Tắc Thạch Dừa Vải - calamansi with coconut jelly and lychee
- Tắc Trân Châu Giòn - calamansi with crunchy pearls
The citrus-based ones (tắc and chanh) are the summer picks. The pearl and grass jelly versions are the year-round staples.

What It Costs and What Size to Get
Phúc Tea keeps pricing deliberately accessible. Most signature drinks sit around 24,000 - 27,000 VND depending on the size and the store, which is well under what an imported bubble tea chain charges in Vietnam. The one-liter cups are priced to be shared, which makes them the best value on the board if there are two or more of you.
Sizes are straightforward:
- 🥤 Size S - a quick cup, good for trying something new
- 🧋 Size M - the standard order for most customers
- 🪣 1-liter cup - for groups, offices, or an afternoon that needs pacing
Exact prices vary slightly between locations, so check with the store when you order.
How to Order Like a Regular
- Pick your base. Milk tea, fruit tea, or a latte such as matcha, chocolate or brown sugar fresh milk.
- Set your sweetness. Locals commonly go 50 to 70 percent. Ask for less if you are ordering anything with taro or brown sugar.
- Choose toppings. Pearls if you want the classic, grass jelly if it is hot out, cheese foam if you want something savory on top. Or take the Full Topping cup and skip the decision entirely.
- Size up if you are sharing. The one-liter cup is the move for two or more people.
